Property for Kids came into being in the 1980’s in a challenge laid down by London property people to their Birmingham counterparts. Essentially the challenge was that the provinces could not organise a decent social event and do some good at the same time. The result was a horse race night with models as jockeys riding a course around one of the function rooms at the Albany Hotel! A good sum was raised and Property for Kids was born.
Since then there have been numerous events. Back to the Future, The Birmingham Hunt Ball, Bond Goes to Rio, Top of the Pops, A Night with the Stars, Moulin Rouge and most recently Arabin Nights! Last year we introduced a second event to our calendar the Brenda Awards Lunch, which was a sell out and, judging by the feedback we received from the participants, was a winner.
During this time we have raised over £325,000 which we have been able to use to very good effect for our principal charitable aim of supporting needy local childrens’ causes. We have been able to make a real difference to childrens’ lives, something of which we should all be proud.
